That's why our RotoBaller team continues ramping up our efforts to break down every fantasy football matchup and provide week-winning advice. With major COVID-19 complications to contend with this week, such as the absence of Lamar Jackson, J.K. Dobbins, […]

Philip Rivers Expected To Be A Go On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is expected to suit up for Sunday's pivotal divisional matchup with the Titans. Rivers was listed as questionable after Friday's practice, though head coach Frank Reich indicated it was a good session for the veteran quarterback. With Rivers close to full strength, the Colts may have to rely on […]

Jalen Hurts To See Increased Playing Time

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to see more playing time on Monday night against the Seahawks. Carson Wentz is still the Eagles' starter- though they intend to use Hurts for plays at a time in an attempt to spark an offense that ranks 26th in yards and 24th in points scored. It's anyone's […]

Ravens-Steelers Game Still On For Tuesday

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are still expected to take the field on Tuesday for their Week 12 game. Twice postponed already due to the number of positive COVID-19 tests, the status of the game was very much in doubt. However, with no new positive tests on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the […]

Kendall Hinton Will Likely See QB Work Over Royce Freeman

That's a weird headline, huh? The entire Denver Broncos quarterback unit is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Saints. There was speculation running back Royce Freeman would be the emergency quarterback, but it looks like it will be practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback at Wake […]

Mike Glennon Is Not Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon will be starting against Cleveland in Week 12, but he shouldn't be starting in your fantasy football lineup. His top wide receiver, D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) is out, and Glennon hasn't started an NFL game since 2017, when he threw four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games. Glennon might […]

NFL DFS Value Plays for Week 12 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Welcome to Week 12, Rotoballers! There are 11 games on the main slate this week, but no teams are on their bye week.

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Have Greatest Week 12 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces a Tampa Bay defense that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this week. It's not the greatest matchup for Mahomes, but that doesn't matter a ton for fantasy managers. He has 348 or more yards in three consecutive appearances. He's a clear QB1 play every […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 12) - Targets and Avoids

The referees have gotten out of hand. It seems like every single play there's a defensive holding, illegal contact, or pass interference. Even if it's third-and-20 and the ball is thrown to the right side of the field, but a hold is called on the left side, that gives the offense a first down. It's […]

49ers Will Have To Find New Short-Term Home Facility

The San Francisco 49ers practice and play their home games in Santa Clara County in California, which is problematic in light of the decree that came down Saturday that does not allow college or professional sports teams to practice or play contact sports over the next three weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. […]

Drew Lock, Broncos QBs Absent From Saturday’s Practice

The Denver Broncos could have an extremely unique scenario on their hands for Sunday's game against New Orleans. After quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles -- the three active quarterbacks the team has under contract -- were all sent home from the team […]

Patriots Put Isaiah Wynn On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots will place starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn (knee) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a league source. The Patriots will be without him for at least the next three games as a result. Wynn injured his knee late in the fourth quarter of the Week 11 loss to the Texans. […]

Lions Fire Matt Patricia, Bob Quinn

The Detroit Lions fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn on Saturday. It comes after the Lions lost to the Texans on Thanksgiving on Thursday by a score of 41-25 to fall to 4-7 on the season and in last place in the NFC North. Patricia's three-year tenure with the team didn't […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 12

James Robinson emerged from a murky Jacksonville backfield to become the team's lead back, and he is now the RB4 on the season in PPR leagues. Justin Herbert has risen to weekly fantasy starter status, as he has put up the eighth-most fantasy points among all QBs. Justin Jefferson has had four 100-yard performances already, […]

Saints To Be Without Terron Armstead, Andrus Peat

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead and left guard Andrus Peat (concussion) will not play in Week 12 against the Broncos. Armstead tested positive for COVID-19, according to sources. This probably would've had more of an effect on pocket quarterback Drew Brees, but this is bad news regardless for the Saints offensive […]

Tua Tagovailoa Downgraded To Doubtful

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Week 12 against the Jets. It will be veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick getting the start on Sunday. Tagovailoa jammed his thumb against a helmet in practice on Wednesday and has been limited this week. The Dolphins just don't want to take […]

Justin Herbert A Strong QB1 Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert gets a favorable matchup in Week 12 against the Bills. Buffalo has surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers and has allowed a QB1 finish in each of their last two contests. Herbert, fantasy football's QB7 this year, has thrown for at least 250 yards and […]

A.Q. Shipley Advised To End His Career

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that backup center A.Q. Shipley (neck), who started the last two games, is out for the season and has been advised to end his playing career after his latest injury. The 34-year-old suffered a neck injury late in the fourth quarter of the Monday night loss to […]

Sam Darnold Avoidable Versus Dolphins

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will suit up against the Miami Dolphins in Week 12. Darnold is returning after a two-game absence, but will face one of the best defenses in the league. He was already a horrendous fantasy option, but playing the Dolphins makes it even worse. It's unlikely that Darnold produces […]

Tua Tagovailoa Very Questionable For Week 12

The Miami Dolphins will not force rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) to play through his injury in Week 12 against the Jets if they think that it's affecting him at all. Tagovailoa's status for Sunday's game is very much in question. The rookie from Alabama was limited in practice this week after jamming his thumb on […]

Cam Newton Carries Low-End QB1 Value

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is coming off one of his best performances of the season. He threw for 365 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Houston Texans last week. It was a nice outing by Newton who has struggled to produce through the air this season. He'll get another favorable […]

Inside the Tent - Week 12 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Philip Rivers Expected To Start On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is listed as questionable following Friday's practice, but he is expected to start on Sunday. Rivers is in a little groove over the past month or so, but he still lacks big upside potential. He is throwing the ball about 35 times per game and is averaging just a […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Streaming Option Against Vikings

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) was a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for his revenge game against the Vikings in Week 12. Bridgewater has thrown for at least two touchdowns in three of his last four games and has added two rushing scores in that time span. The […]

Drew Lock Healthy Heading Into Week 12

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) practiced in full all week and wasn't on the team's final injury report for Week 12 against the Saints. Lock was questionable last week but played in the surprising win over the Dolphins. The second-year QB was more of a game manager in Week 11 with the running game […]

Gardner Minshew II Receives Questionable Tag

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Browns. Minshew hasn't played since Week 7, but head coach Doug Marrone already named Mike Glennon the starter against Cleveland earlier this week. But it looks as though Minshew is nearing full health, so he could have a shot […]

GPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 12) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice

The Week 12 GPP Value brings to mind a little Hill Street Blues - let's be careful out there. Because this slate has gone from tough to ugly! It seems that some of these NFL players should heed that advice as the number of healthy options are dropping like flies. Adam Thielen is just the most […]

Mitchell Trubisky Officially Named The Starter

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced on Friday that quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will start in Week 12 against the division-rival Packers. However, with Nick Foles (hip) doubtful to play, Nagy made no assurances that Trubisky would keep the starting job beyond this Sunday. Trubisky started the year under center but was benched in favor […]
